Personally, I don't like giveaways that require you to do 2045807 different things to enter. I don't have time for it and I usually pass on entering. I've had a few giveaways on my blog and I don't make anyone do anything to enter, besides leave a comment.. I just nicely ask for people to follow me or something simple like that, but they don't have to.

I'm with the rest of you, I won't enter a giveaway that has too many requirements for a mandatory entry. Because I've seen more and more bloggers do that (and <em>I do understand</em> they are trying to promote themselves or the product), I always do my best to make sure I have a lot of entry options, none of which are a requirement for entry. Technically, when dealing with sweepstakes entries and such, their has to be a "free method of entry," so I always try to have my first entry option be…

I think it's completely up to the blogger if it's a personal giveaway and it's up to the sponsor if it's a sponsored giveaway. That being said, I don't tend to enter giveaways that require me to jump through too many hoops. I don't mind leaving a comment, tweeting, following, or visiting a web site to see which of their products I like. I believe a separate entry should be given for each thing, and that is how I tend to run my giveaways. But, it's the blogger's choice on how to run his or…

I believe a separate entry should be given for each thing, and that is how I tend to run my giveaways. But, it's the blogger's choice on how to run his or her own giveaway. We don't have to enter. Perhaps she's trying to promote herself. That might be why she requires a tweet or follow. If you don't like the entry requirements, you don't have to enter that giveaway. It's as easy as a click away. Whatever options you have on…tag:www.mombloggersclub.com,2011-03-08:988554:Comment:7661132011-03-08T16:18:00.517ZSoniahttp://www.mombloggersclub.com/profile/sonia
Whatever options you have on your giveaway, make it where they can choose. I don't really care what people do on mine as along as they choose one.

<p>I was appalled at the shipping - they had it on several of their giveaways...giveaways from companies I've seen sponsor other places w/o shipping fees. I won't go back to that site!</p>

Most times the giveaways are simple enough to enter but when you get to the ones that require things like Google Connect follows to enter, I'm out. I make it simple when I do them. One comment as the required entry and MAYBE 2 or 3 other options at the most.

<p>It's fine to count all those activities as one entry. So if you tweet, put it on your Facebook page, follow on GFC and comment, you could get 4 entries.</p>

<p>What I don't like are contests that make you do a ton of work, like submitting a video. Usually big brands do this because it's a way to garner free content for their website.</p>

<p>Usually, if there are these many requirements for a giveaway I don't enter. But if I have to leave a comment and then have the OPTION for extra entries by doing more I will enter.</p>
